Hi All,
So where are we at. Well we now have, as you might have guessed a LHD and RHD Ginetta, and we are using 2017 Specs as provided by the teams. We have full real gear ratios, final drive working, although a little slow "out of the box" this is still WIP.
Aero, tyres and Car Inertia needed some work, as well as other fundamental things that I just didn't know about, so I am seriously really pleased to say that
@mclarenf1papa has been helping and I cannot thank him enough for what he is doing, and helping me gain more knowledge, as I said, way back when this all started, I have tried to teach myself, and there is things that are just not documented.
Also, we are working on a complete new Dashboard, so that it replicates what is actually in the car today.
Here is a WIP Picture
I am at Snetterton next weekend with Team Hard as a VIP, so I aim to gather more info, more REF photos, as I now have
@mclarenf1papa to consult with as well to ask the right questions.
So what about the old Ginetta. This WILL NOT be changed or updated, as people have posted, they like the old version, why not give them access to both, so I listened, and the new version will be named Ginetta_Supercup2017_RHD and Ginetta_Supercup2017_LHD.
I have updated the UI files so it's easy to see the difference and I have all 4 versions running quiet happy in AC.
Why so much detail you ask, it's a free mod?
Yes your right, it's free, and for me and the team it's fun, but also this is as close as it will get, with proper team input. Nothing against PCARS, who have the "Official License" for the car, but they got it so wrong, on a disastrous level, I hope that we can make this as close as possible, so current and future Ginetta drivers can use this as an aid / tool
Like I said, being this close to the team and cars, you soon realise that these don't drive on rails, they are not glued to the track and they are really hard work to drive, these are not beginner cars to drive, they give you a serious work out.
So for me, we had a fantastic model and settings from original creators, and I cannot thank them enough.
I took it to the next level, so it worked in AC, handling aero, and other bits and bobs was all updated, and now, this is taken it to a whole new level, with real team feedback, RHD now as they are IRL, and full motec update, as in IRL.
This will be not everybody's cup of Tea, due to how much more you have to work to keep it on the track, but hopefully, you will appreciate the challenge it brings and it really does make you smile when you nail that lap
Again, thank you all for your support and following
Regards
Shaun
